The youngsters bode well for the future, they will change places many times and I look forward to watching them do just that. We are fortunate in our breed that we have no major health issues, temperaments without exception, were faultless, all were consistent in type, dentition placement all correct, all had correct coat texture The majority moved effortlessly with drive and purpose. The highlight of my day was judging the open dog class. I turned away from the table to see 9 immaculately presented skyes, all stood perfectly still, long, low, level and alert, it quite took my breath away. Thank you all. I was thrilled to see the BOB go 2nd in the strong terrier group, he looked a perfect representative of our lovely breed. JD (2,1) 1.

Strong correct head, good chest, straight fore legs, a handsome young d, well bodied with no exaggerations, will be hard to beat when he muscles up, unlucky to meet 1 today. 3.

Long and low, strong neck, correct head/eye, good length muzzle, no exaggeration, well laid shoulders, ribs set well back, harsh coat, moved with drive, CC/BOB/G2. 2. Breeze's Ch Salena The Special One, well known dark silver d of quality, presented beautifully as always, excellent chest and lay back of rib, strong straight front legs, good topline, strong head, super earset/neck, not the length of 1. moved out with precision and style. 3.
